The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to test the predictions of physics theories and yield new valuable insight.

While a quantum computer could factor a 2048-bit RSA key in less than a week with fewer than a million qubits, there are ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers aren’t so sure.

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Building a working quantum internet would require overcoming a host of technical challenges, but researchers who have built ...

Boron nitride sensors enable quantum measurements under crushing pressure, redefining high-pressure physics. The quantum ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
